I know two women who were both marathon runners, and tri-athletes... fit, muscular, well within a healthy BMI... Both developed hashimoto autoimmune disease.

One of the two, eventually also developed more severe autoimmune conditions.

I agree with you that we can prevent a huge amount of disease with diet and exercise. I do not agree with a broad assertion that illness is a choice. That is a cruel misunderstanding of illness, that mocks the people who - despite their best efforts - got a shit roll of the dice.
